National Geographic
What do you do when you don’t have the money to travel? You get a window, that's what you do. Sometimes you buy the window. But when you can't, you borrow it from the library. That’s what National Geographic was for me as a child. The window of my dreams.
Atomic HistorianPublished 9 months ago in CritiqueAndy Warhol's Campbell Soup Can
Perhaps I am ignorant of how modern art works. Or just perhaps not interpreting the work of Andy Warhol correctly. But I have never understood why his painting of soup cans was so significant. And I am sure the person that created the designs for Campbells was no more impressed.
Atomic HistorianPublished 9 months ago in CritiqueNo Shelter by Rage Against the Machine
Did Rage Against the Machine own a time machine in the 1990s? I’m not saying they did, but it’s sometimes too hard to listen to their 1998 single, No Shelter, and wonder if they hadn’t just arrived back from the 2020s. Prolific lyrics or time travel. Guess we’ll never know.

Atomic HistorianPublished 9 months ago in CritiqueStargate: The Movie
Do you like sci-fi? Do you like archaeology? What about Egyptology and little ancient aliens? You know, before it became popular. That is what we got in the 1994 classic, Stargate. Starring James Spader and Kurt Rusell, this cinematic epic launched one of the best sci-fi franchises of the 90s.
Atomic HistorianPublished 9 months ago in CritiqueThe Bible
In all fairness, the Bible is the only book of the trilogy I’ve read. Mostly because the beginning is a recap of the first. I have not read the third book, mainly because I wasn’t terribly impressed with the Bible. Lots of continuity errors. Also, the book clubs get weird.

These books were a godsend for a lonely, only child. I can’t think of a character I connected with more as a child. A precocious only child, check. His main company is his stuffed animal, check. Spends most of his day lost in his imagination, check. Thank you Bill Watterson.

Let’s be honest, X-Men: The Animated Series made the Marvel Cinematic Universe what it is. If this show didn’t exist, they’re would have been far less hype over the X-Men movie in 2000. This show was amazing from the theme song, to every plot line. We love and miss it.
Atomic HistorianPublished 9 months ago in CritiqueThe Managerial Revolution
There are few books that have had such a large influence on my life. The Managerial Revolution by James Burnham is one of the few that have changed my life's trajectory entirely. It is a fascinating, insightful, and contemporaneous look at the conflict between Fascism, Communism, and the New Deal.
Atomic HistorianPublished 9 months ago in CritiqueExtremely Bad
Have you ever been asked, “What’s the worst book you’ve read?” I am often asked this when people find out my passion for literature. I always answer the same: Extreme Ownership by Jocko Willink. This book is exhaustingly unreadable. I stopped after the second chapter. I want my time back.

In the vast and intricate fabric of existence, humanity's role is akin to a delicate thread woven within nature's intricate tapestry. In this expansive weave, each strand unfurls lessons, trials, and occasionally, unanticipated perils. Among these challenges lies the formidable sting of the yellow-legged hornet—a creature of striking allure that wields the potential to disturb the harmony between humankind and the natural world.
